Uprising

The shock of losing several of their most powerful immortal leaders stirs the wrath of the Drawlen regime toward its enemies, who are, as of yet, fractured and vulnerable. Liiesh Romanus, First Lord of the Freelands and Drawlen’s most deadly adversary, sets out to correct this. His best option for doing so, however, is working with a Tarish smuggler with a dubious reputation. But Ella Riley is not what she seems.

In Yvenea, the Freelands’ only ally, Shane zem’Arta works to find his missing commander and to secure Orin Novelen’s ascension to the throne. But Yvenea’s aged dynast, acting on his severe paranoia, has turned his city into a prison, stirring up a resistance that threatens to become a nationwide revolution and that sweeps the Red Watch into its tide.

On the other side of the peninsula, Jon Therman races to find out what became of his wife and youngest son. Political unrest in Oboran complicate his efforts. He finds himself the guardian of a girl who is sought by both sides of the conflict.

Jon has left his son Nate to carry on with the mission to bring the scattered Ruvian people to their new city in the north. It is a difficult endeavor complicated by Drawlen cruelty.

All the while, Jon’s wife, Ruth, and son Jeb must learn to survive in a strange land while avoiding its many dangers, chiefly the Drawlen immortal, Selvator Kane, who seeks Jeb for mysterious reasons and will use any means to achieve his goal.

Prepare for an electrifying journey in Uprising, the second book of The Palimar Saga, where the world quakes under an ancient curse, and fractured alliances must unite against a cult of immortals. Fans of The Powder Mage Trilogy and The Stormlight Archive will find themselves immersed in this richly detailed world where magic intertwines with muskets and power comes at a heavy price.

Building on the intricate world-building and complex characters that captivated readers in Remnant, Uprising escalates the stakes with political intrigue, epic battles, and gripping romance. If you loved the thrilling adventure and dark fantasy elements of Game of Thrones or The Witcher, this is a must-read. Dive into the chaos, where even thieves become heroes, and every move could mean survival or ruin in this spellbinding continuation of an epic saga.
